    6/10
    20 year old Diana Dors.
    That was worth it just to see a 20 year old Diana Dors looking stunning with lips to die for.

    Apart from the bottle blonde she looked largely natural at this time and more to my taste that the over made up Marilyn Monroe.

    Her character attemps a clumsy seduction in the back of crusty George Brent's book shop office that along with her slimy male accomplice played by Peter Reynolds leads to blackmail and tragedy.

    George Brent had his Hollywood moments I particularly liked him in Temptation playing an Egyptologist alongside Merle Oberon but here he is passed his prime.

    An early Hammer thriller movie for a rainy winter's afternoon , now available in the public domain on Youtube.
